86 and 87 utilize the Pythagorean theorem. Where those tangent lines meet the circle forms a right angle. So you have a side length of 6 and a hypotenuse of 22. So the missing side length is 21.16. For 87, its the same thing, but you have the 2 legs but are missing the hypotenuse.
Here are some formulas...
percent increase = (new number - original number) / original number...* 100
percent decrease = (original number - new number) / original number...* 100
============
a student raises her grade from a 75 to a 90....since it is going from a smaller number to a larger number, u have an increase
percent increase = (90 - 75) / 70....* 100
= 15/70 * 100
= 0.2142 * 100
= 21.42 rounds to 21.4% increase
-------------------------
36.50 on sale for 32.12...since it goes from a larger number to a smaller number, u have a decrease
percent decrease = (original number - new number) / original * 100
= (36.50 - 32.12) / 32.12...* 100
= 4.38 / 32.12...* 100
= 0.1363...* 100
= 13.63 rounds to 13.6% decrease
------------------------------
23.5 to 21.2......this is a decrease
percent decrease = (original number - new number) / original...* 100
= (23.5 - 21.2) / 23.5....* 100
= 2.3 / 23.5....* 100
= 0.0979 * 100
= 9.79 rounds to 9.8% decrease
Substitute a number for each variable
Ex.
2x x=5
(2)(5)
=10
Infinitely many solutions, you need to do the distributive property.
If 360 is 2/3 of the full price on a saw then your equation should look like this:
x is your unknown full price of the saw. Just solve for x now.
This means that the full price is $540.
Hope this helps!
